A bombshell wiretap leak has set the intelligence and geopolitical world ablaze today, revealing high ranking members of the German Bundeswehr openly discussing plans to supply the Taurus missiles and help Ukraine destroy Russia’s Kerch Bridge. Many are understandably pinning the leak on Russia’s GRU, but it seems just as—if not
I really shouldn't be surprised, but it is kind of shocking to be confronted with how comfortable leaders of NATO countries are gambling with nuclear war. But I do think the argument at the end is interesting. Basically, the West realizes that Ukraine wont last much longer. So they are putting a bunch of NATO personnel in to prevent occupation of a rump west Ukraine on threat of direct NATO retaliation.
They are gambling that in the end, total war will be averted somehow. Of course, this is the same gamble the Germans and Austrians were playing before WW1.
